Rohan Lads should be called the wooden Horse army 😂

I'm looking for a good faction to collect alongside my Mordor force, and your podcast has been a huge help in getting started!

Really.enjoyed this video. Thank you for actually including some army builds at the end. As someone finally getting into MESBG, this is beyond helpful

Good to see a positive take on my favourite army. One thing I will say though is I don't think the elven cloaks are that good. They only get the bonus when hiding behind terrain, not other models. So a wood elf warrior with banner can still be sniped from the back line.

I know Treebeard is the strongest, but for 50 points less, I fell Quickbeam actually is very nice. Extra movement usually comes handy in so many games.

I've never played them, but I feel the wood elves with throwing weapons would work better if they are part of the Gildor band to get +2 movement.

Are you guys going to do Rivendell at some point? I like these long form videos 🙂. Thank you.

The biggest downside to this army (and one I didn't see you guys mention) is that they hit like wet noodles. Army-wide S3 and no bonuses of any kind sucks

@MegaDawnofwar 2 жыл бұрын

That is a good point, our not mentioning it is probably just a consequence of the armies ive played into the lothlorien all being d3 and d5 but yes against d6 or especially 8 they can really struggle. You do have access to two handing army wide so its not like there's no bonuses and you can almost always feint but 2 handing can be a big risk at times.

Yeh, I've found this - they'll win fights most of the time due to high fight and elven weapons, but they can't follow through with the wounds. To counter this, I tend to have a lot of spear and pike support, use them to to support and have the swords go two handed with feint - then have a banner giving re-rolls. It's pricey, but it does offset the -1 a lot.

awesome video, definitely the most enjoyable breakdown of lothlorien I've seen! could you guys do an update on orophin?

@porcu12345 2 жыл бұрын

This is the only review i've seen that looks positively on the wood elf captain. Everyone else puts it in the bottom tier and mocks it.

My biggest problem to bringing the court boys is that I don't like the models!

can you do one for iron hills? It would be great !!

@mackyd955 Жыл бұрын

about 3 minutes in. How big the bow is. It's not extra. If you wanted power back in the day your bow was literally that big cause there was no such thing as a compound bow then (why they are small now)

Quick correction around 13:41 you said Galadriel has a staff of power that cannot be shattered. Well no staff of power can be shattered. It says so in the spel description. claws and teeth, staff of power and the one ring cant be shattered.
